THIS SONG WAS WAY HARDER THAN I'D HOPED IT WOULD BE. Free tab at Danieljamesguitar.com, if you dare. I'd like to dedicate this attempt of a cover to "The Coneheads".

Actually, practicing this wasn't so bad. However, when the camera is rolling, and the audio recording, that's when you notice things more literally. Every note which is even the slightest bit sour starts to stand out like a sore thumb. For that reason, recording this drove me more insane than the usual fingerstyle cover, because there's so much opportunity for those sour notes- with the quick bass line playing over the vocal melody, that weird moment where it changes to G major suddenly, and the bounce slaps. I practically suffered a stroke at the 1:20 minute mark, you'll probably notice.

To be honest, I think I could've done take after take and gotten a cleaner version of this, but that might've taken the rest of the week, and having to focus so much on avoiding every last error drives me insane after a while. I was going to include some of the others takes I made and failed, as sort of a blooper reel, but they actually weren't that comical. This song was surprisingly too brutal for me to remain even a little cheery. If I wasn't wearing a hat, I might've torn my hair out. It made me feel like sometimes, dare I say, I've got to, run away, I've got to, get away.
